Patrick- 16 Months

Patrick is 16 months old!


His BIG accomplishment this month is sleeping through the night almost every night!  Woohoo!  He likes to "talk" (i.e. babble) to me for a few minutes while we rock.  I took away the nighttime bottle last month, so I have to rock him from 45 minutes to an hour for him to fall asleep.  I don't mind as long as he sleeps through the night!  He is very particular about who rocks him to sleep.  If dad tries to rock him to sleep he normally wakes up in the middle of the night, so i've learned that if I go out one night I should count on getting up with him.  Maybe that can be our goal for next month!


He is still such a picky eater and I can't predict from day to day what he will eat!  He does surprise us every now and then and eats something I wouldn't expect him to eat.  He loves milk and drinks so much of it.   He carries his sippy cup around all day with him!


Patrick is definitely going to be a climber.  He practices climbing on anything he can!  He also loves going up and down the stairs constantly!


He loves playing chase and peek-a-boo.  He also loves sitting on our laps and playing any game.  He pulls me over to where he is playing and sits on my lap and then just happily plays.

He isn't saying any new words this month, but he never stops babbling!  He talks constantly.  He is starting to understand more.  He can point to all of his body parts when you ask him where his nose is, for example.


No new teeth this month, but I can see four more that are about to poke through!


He is such a little giggler.  He loves being tickled and then giggling like crazy!  


Patrick has been really into copying Michael and I.  He saw me push the chair up to the fridge and put something in the cabinet above the fridge.  I walked away for a minute and when I came back in the room Patrick had pushed the chair back to the fridge, climbed up and was pulling off magnets.


He is so much fun right now, just giggling and laughing all the time!
